I’ve been playing the Electone since I was six, mainly performing Disney music, anime songs, and music from dramas and films. I post performance videos on YouTube and social media, and I also give concerts. Building on my Electone experience, I took up synthesizer and piano during my student years and performed at school-sponsored events. As a writer, I’ve covered not only music-related topics but a wide range of genres, so I hope to draw on my experience to deliver articles that make readers think, “I want to try that!” or “I want to listen to that!”

A person from the melodic hardcore boom generation who loves music, photography, and eating. I’ve been going to live houses for over 20 years. I’m at the age where summer festivals are starting to feel tough physically. I sometimes try shooting live photos and videos for MVs. I’m not great at English, so I often listen to straightforward Japanese rock that hits directly, but if someone recommends something, I’ll listen to anything—Western or Japanese—broadly and casually. I like cooking while listening to music; it’s a nice way to relieve stress.

Mother’s Day falls on the second Sunday of May.

To express their everyday gratitude, many people prepare in various ways each year—sending flowers or gifts, cooking a meal, and more.

Even without a gift, you can still share your feelings!

If that sounds like you, how about giving a message card?

In this article, we’ll share plenty of ideas for handmade message cards.

Of course, it’s also fine to include one alongside a present or bouquet!

If you find it embarrassing to say things out loud, a message card might be the perfect way to express how you feel!

Bouquet message card

These are adorable message cards shaped like bouquets! There are two types: one that opens like a bouquet with a space inside for writing your message, and another where each flower coming out of the bouquet is an individual message card.

The bouquet motif is perfect for graduation ceremonies at kindergartens.

They’re cute enough to display, so they’re sure to become message cards you’ll want to keep forever.

If you fold the flower and leaf parts three-dimensionally as you would with origami, the finish will look even more polished!

Card with a big ribbon

Here’s a handmade card idea featuring a striking, three-dimensional oversized ribbon.

Create the base by folding a sheet of construction paper in half, then glue a white sheet on the cover that has two strip-cut pieces of construction paper crossed in a plus sign.

Adding a large ribbon on top makes the card look like a present.

To make the ribbon, cut slits from each of the four corners of a square piece of construction paper toward the center, then glue the separated corners to the center.

Adding highlights with a white pen will give the ribbon even more dimension.
